51826 + 59697 + presumably 51846 arrive at Penistone from Huddersfield on 13.12.1969. An image from the Jim Freebury Railway Slide Collection. David Page.

DMU

Date: 25th July 1986

E51812 + E59697 + E51842 seen in York station on Saturday 25/07/1986, with another Class 110 on the left. They are in what was then platforms 10 / 11, these bays became platforms 6 / 7 and generally used for services on the direct route to Leeds and beyond, e.g. to Bradford Interchange and on to Manchester Victoria or Blackpool via Calder Valley route. Some InterCity services terminating at York also use these platforms. Graeme Phillips Collection.

DMU

Set number: 101364

Different DMUs at Dalmeny. Three different classes of DMU in two trains crossing at Dalmeny in July 1988. On the left is Met Camm class 101364 (53242+59080+53268), while the hybrid set (386) on the right is Derby class 108s 51926 and 53631 sandwiching a BRCW class 110 centre car 59697. Murray Liston.

I'm on the phone! DMU activity at Dalmeny in July 1988. The driver of Met Camm class 101364 (53242 + 59080 + 53268) is on the phone to control, while the hybrid set (386) approaching on the right is Derby class 108s 51926 and 53631 sandwiching a BRCW class 110 centre car 59697. Identifying power cars on TBSL sets where both are DMSs can be tricky, in this case it is made easier by 53242 having a different radius to the lower left corner of the black mask around the cab windows. Murray Liston.

DMU

Date: 20th September 1988

Set number: 386

Class 108/110 hybrid set 386 (presumably 51926 + 59697 + 53631 at North Queensferry on 20 September 1988. Mike McDonald.
